Neil Young: Before and After (2023)
With scores of reissues, live releases, previously unreleased albums and sometimes mystifying compilations in the past two decades, Young’s catalogue is confusing to say the least. But we recommend this collection of mostly deep cuts delivered solo and acoustic, where he revisited Buffalo Springfield songs, I’m the Ocean (from Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam) and came right up to Don’t Forget Love from his 2021 album Barn with Crazy Horse. His journey through the past.
